+
+The eepic package (authored by Conrad Kwok) is one of packages to
+provide small-size extention to the picture environment of LaTeX
+(and epic package) and employs the tpic drawing feature of DVI-wares.
+Back in 1990--2000 the use of epic + eepic was widespread because
+many of the legacy DVI-wares (dvips, dvipdfmx, etc.) support tpic
+(and thus eepic extension). But pdfTeX engine has never supported
+tpic. As consequence, the use of epic + eepic was gradually replaced
+by pict2e as pdfTeX became more popular.
+
+In most cases drawings using epic + eepic are easily converted to
+pict2e ones, but there are features that eepic supports but pict2e
+does not --- e.g. ellipsis, dashed line. The present package provides
+almost full features of epic + eepic implemented on pict2e engines.
+Thus one can make epic + eepic drawings work on pdfTeX; moreover,
+one can use eepic and pict2e in the same document.
+
+### Installation + + - `*.sty`, `*.def` → $TEXMF/tex/latex/bxeepic + +### Usage + +Load this package after loading pict2e. + + \usepackage[<pict2e options>]{pict2e}
+ \usepackage{bxeepic}
+
+If pict2e is not yet loaded in loading bxeepic then it is loaded
+automatically, and in this case every option given to bxeepic will
+be passed to pict2e.
+
+ \usepackage[<pict2e options>]{bxeepic}
+ +This package provides all commands of epic and eepic packages, except
+the following:
+
+ - Shading: `\blacken`, `\whiten`, `\shade`, `\texture`, `\filltype`
+ - Dashed line with dotted dashes: the second optional argument of
+ `\dashline` is ignored.
+ - Dotted line with user-defined dots: the optional argument of
+ `\dottedline` is ignored.
+
+### Notice
+
+ - When behavior of a command differs btween eepic and epic, then
+ that of eepic is adopted.
+ - When behavior of a command differs btween pict2e and eepic, then
+ that of pict2e is adopted.
+ - However, `\arc` command can be used either in pict2e or eepic
+ syntax; when it looks like `\arc{...}{...}{...}` then eepic syntax
+ is assumed.
+ - When bxeepic is loaded, both epic and eepic packages are marked
+ as ‘already-loaded’; so one can load bxeepic earlily and then
+ the packages that rely on epic and eepic will work happily.
+ +Revision History +---------------- + + * Version 0.2 <2013/04/28> + - The bxdpxp2e module, which provides proper support for
+ dvipdfmx, was abolished because the recent pic2e (>=v0.2y)
+ has the support.
+ - Documentation. + * Version 0.1 <2010/08/08> + - The first public version. + +-------------------- +Takayuki YATO (aka. "ZR") +http://zrbabbler.sp.land.to/ |
